Susi Belianska

Susi Belianska is a visual artist of Italian and Slovak nationality, currently based in Milan, Italy. Her portrait-driven photographic work is rooted in emotional resonance and psychological depth.

Her practice revolves around the inner world — the subtle gestures, silent tensions, and fleeting states of being that reveal who we are beneath the surface. She seeks out imperfect spaces, romantic ruins, and soft light to build visual narratives where memory, femininity, and vulnerability meet.

Belianska’s portraits are not about appearances, but presence — capturing moments that feel both timeless and intimate. With a background in fashion and a strong conceptual sensibility, her images carry a refined yet deeply human touch. Through an instinctive command of light and composition, she creates photographs that linger — not because they shout, but because they whisper something essential.
